I took a little while off . . . twice last year! Yeah, double bad! LOL! I have restarted, as I have been in public ministry (worship leading) for a few years now. A couple of months ago, I stepped back to refocus on my relationship with God, and my relationship with my family. I have since started blogging, strictly as a means of getting my thoughts down in a place where I can go back and review it, and revisit it. More for me I think than other, but its cool when I get visitors! Oh, Alastair the Irish Potato Bread looks good, but down here in Louisiana, we fry our taters!
Blessings!

Ok, the Irish Potato Bread recipe is not a good example.

I think it has forced bloggers to post stuff that is more solid than we used to. We use Twitter and Facebook to expell all the fluff that we’d usually post about. You know, links to videos, web sites, stand-alone thoughts, etc.

Now I only post when I have something stewing in my head. I need to bounce it off a few folk, so I use my blog. It’s kind of more like a journal for me. Although I’m hoping that it helps someone else out there too.

I don’t think the ‘blog decline’ is a bad thing. I still like and will continue to blog for the foreseeable future. I’m not as concerned about stats as I once was.

I just began blogging in late 2009. I wanted a digital outlet to amplify my Rhodia notebook and Lamy fountain pen. I wanted to add my voice to the collective hum that emanates from the blogoshphere. Right now I’m not sure how large a community I want, might attract or could hope for. At the moment its mostly just me capturing a few snippets of time, cataloging adventures and attempting art. And very much like you, Joel, I pray to observe and remark on the immense blessings of God. He is so great in my life and deserves all my praise. Onward…

I’ve definitely slowed down this past couple of months. I used to post five or six times a week, like clockwork. Now it’s more like two or three.

That’ll go up a little bit now, as my life is usually less busy at the beginning of a year, so I’ll have more time to read, listen to music, see movies, etc…

I started my blog with the idea of writing for “me” and anyone who wanted to come along could. My traffic is up, but not high, and I rarely get comments anymore.

The Twitter/Facebook combo works really well for community, especially when using a single interface to manage them, like I do with Tweetdeck. Some folks are on one, some on the other, some on both.

I am not as intricate of a blogger as most of you..

However I am trying to do something different with my site this year.. and that’s to write stuff So often Im stumped to write something “different”.. but I need to keep it simple.. and most of all keep it real.. we’ll see how it goes

and simply to agree.. Twitter and Facebook are a bad arse tag team.. in the likes of Chuck Norris and Mr. T

exactly…a time stamp.

I always called it my altar – a place where I can note the greatness of God and remember at least till Al gore dis-invents the internet.

Facebook does trump twitter, but I love how instant twitter has become and use both in tandem.

When I first started blogging the reasons were simple. While the reasons still exist I feel the need to refocus.
